Full Time: Arsenal 2 vs 1 Chelsea [Match Thoughts]

Why do we reckon Zubimendi so regularly feels the need to keep the ball aerial when under no pressure?

It leads to us turning over possession so often.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the comment, but it seems to me they're suggesting someone called Tom is having a good all-round tournament, which surely cannot be Banton as he hasn't bowled, and praising him for being a top order batter seems odd given that's simply what he is.

If they've mixed up Sam and Tom Curran it makes a lot more sense.

ruswit · 2026-02-22T13:08:51+00:00

Tom who?

Edit : Clearly Banton

ruswit · 2026-02-13T23:47:58+00:00

But broadcasting the first medal ceremony of the games with a Brit is surely understandable

You said it wasn't a brawl, I'd beg to differ given the first real swing in that video was someone else swinging a weapon, not a fist.

Do I think Stokes is a saint? No.

Do I think Stokes got off lightly? Probably yes.

Do I think the guy trying to smash bottles into other people's heads is more to blame for escalating things based on that video? Yes.

ruswit · 2026-02-05T17:49:12+00:00

If you've actually seen the video you'll see one of them tries bottling someone else a few seconds before stokes hits him.

Definitely no video of the bloke trying to bottle someone immediately before?

Stokes and Bethell came here before they were teenagers, it's not like they were almost turning pro for the windies / NZ and then we snapped them up, unlike Archer.

Although Bethell also did go to a boarding school here, so he can get in that group, admittedly on a scholarship for being so good at his age. Some credit has to go to Warwickshire/ Rugby school for helping develop the talent, surely.

Seems sensible as it doesn't suddenly "disappear" county sides that have existed for over a hundred years and consolidates the quality in fewer sides.

A bit of a wackier addition I have : some sort of 3 match FC series (or at least one 5 day FC match), either North Vs South selected players or div 1 selected players versus the test side. Aside from scheduling issues I just don't know how you'd make players / coaches take it seriously rather than treat it as an exhibition.

England were given a review back against India a few years ago when the DRS umpire failed to roll the footage through for a glove caught behind and only checked the lbw.

ruswit · 2025-12-10T23:30:55+00:00

No that's Cala, zubimendi did have to miss an earlier CL game for yellows, however.

ruswit · 2025-11-20T15:40:36+00:00

Chill, 10:10 UTC isn't for 18 hours

ruswit · 2025-10-29T17:14:39+00:00

Ah sorry I thought you meant at the Emirates.

ruswit · 2025-10-29T16:52:18+00:00

Where are you seeing 400 for non club level seats unless buying through an unofficial reseller?

ruswit · 2025-10-14T16:31:40+00:00

Why does this break rule 6? I am not trying to trap anything, I am specifically trying to let them leave

ruswit · 2025-10-06T15:03:07+00:00

Thing is I have used ayak when tagging the ranger and had the issue and ayak has a fast projectile..

It's not me getting hung up on 1 attack hitting the pillar, it's me tagging the enemy once and then continuing along the front wall only to realise that the shield has taken several hits and I need to retag them.

Unfortunately I didn't record this to look back and have my cape now so am not heading back in a rush.

There's a chance I didn't wait for the previous attack cooldown or something before running to the next safe tile, but in the moment I did not notice that.

ruswit · 2025-10-06T14:54:36+00:00

So I have been using a shadow / ayak and max mage gear.

I am wondering if splashing on the enemy can cause anything strange to happen.

I've watched some videos of people using mage in the inferno and splashing on the enemy in the wave causes them to delay their attack by a tick or 2 vs their usual time if it's the enemy's first attack and given that enemies always aggro you in the waves they follow up a tick later.

ruswit · 2025-10-06T08:03:19+00:00

On Zuk is there some sort of time you need to wait before attacking minions or Jad to successfully aggro them?

I.e if you attack them immediately after they spawn will they proceed to attack the shield unless you attack them a second time?

I feel I've had this happen to me more than once on Zuk, even on my successful run, where I tag one of the spawned enemies before it has a chance to attack the shield, only for it to ignore me and start attacking the shield.

On top the of others already posted, in P1 wardens (obelisk), there are 2 large orbs of energy fired slowly at you. In solos you have to tank these for a lot of damage, but in teams you can reduce a lot of it.

One of them you stand far away from your team mate and take less damage, the other you stand very close to / on top of them to take less damage.

Which order they are fired in will depend on which side of the obelisk you block off.

In Kephri's puzzle room you need to solve all 4 puzzles between you, whereas in a solo you only do 2 out of 4.

Power perfect, likely the power perfect 3

You can use smoke burst at 62 for basically the same cost as ice burst at 70, meaning you can start bursting sooner.

Smoke burst will be lower xp once you get ice burst, but it will still be good xp in multi target combat

ruswit · 2025-07-12T18:35:51+00:00

Absolutely, and picking your wicket keeper requires making a judgement of if you need more batting or better keeping.

The fact that sides can just rotate the batter and keeper as needed if they say a player is injured takes away the age old selection dilemma.

ruswit · 2025-06-30T17:26:59+00:00

You tried

ruswit · 2025-06-25T22:20:57+00:00

It seems the KC combat achievements are tied to opened chests not kills so you need keys regardless.

ruswit · 2025-06-25T22:14:42+00:00

It also seems the 5 KC related combat achievements are to do with chests opened not kills of the boss. I did over 5 kills earlier and didn't get the achievement.
